Air Power in the Modern World will give students an understanding of military campaigns, operations and security issues from 1945 to the present day, in the light of the wide-ranging economic, social, technological and political changes in the world, with special reference to to the seemingly ubiquitous role of air power in integrated (‘joint’) contexts. It will equip students to engage critically with scholarly debate about the conduct and nature of contemporary warfare from an air power perspective, and will develop their understanding of the contexts in which military operations take place.
Based on the successful War in the Modern World masters degree, Air Power in the Modern World (APMW) is a new distance-learning, part-time masters degree from the Department of War Studies, King’s College London. Open to any applicant anywhere in the world – you do not have to be a member of the Royal Air Force.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
Take test* Students should possess a first or upper second class honours degree (or GPA must be above 3.25) in history, international relations, political science, economics or other appropriate subject of the University of London or an equivalent qualification from another British or overseas university. Degrees in other subjects, or candidates with lower awards than those above, may be considered by the Admissions Tutor. Strong references and personal statements are an important part of the application, as is relevant working experience.
* An alternative professional or other qualification obtained by a formal examination may be approved. Prior experiential learning can also be taken into consideration by the admissions panel. Where alternative professional or other qualifications are not available, evidence will be required that a candidate can undertake academic study to the level required. If necessary, candidates will be asked to submit a sample of written work.
* Overseas students whose first language is not English must meet the formal standard of English which are either IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency. The School of Social Science and Public Policy minimum entry requirements for our graduate programmes are detailed in a table on the English Language Requirements webpage.
